Xiaofan Cui
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioWelcome to my home page! I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, sponsored by Prof. Simona Onori. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor working with Prof. Al-Thaddeus Avestruz. My research bridges concepts from circuits, control, and systems to address challenges in future power and energy systems. My Ph.D. dissertation focused on physics-based modeling, control, and design of energy systems. At Stanford, I broadened toward data-driven modeling, identification, and prediction of energy systems. Future energy systems can be more heterogeneous in form and more agile in actuation because of more integration of power electronics. My proposed work addressed these challenges by innovating control-aware modeling frameworks, provably-correct control policies, physics-informed learning schemes, and high-performance hardware validations.
I earned two M.S. degrees in ECE and Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I received two bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Economics from Tsinghua University, China. I enjoy reading and hiking in my spare time. If you are interested in future energy systems, I believe my “full-stack” skillsets from theory to hardware would be a good complement to your previous experiences. Please feel free to reach out to me by email. Have a good day!
